The rematch turned into another mismatch for UConn.
Stephon Castle had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the top-seeded Huskies and the defending NCAA champions advanced to the Elite Eight with another double-digit victory, beating San Diego State 82-52 on Thursday night in a rematch of last year’s title game.
A year after cruising to their fifth national championship - winning their six NCAA Tournament games by an average of almost 20 points - the Huskies followed up blowouts last weekend with their ninth straight double-digit March Madness victory.“We suck at winning close games,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said. “You’ve got to go with the alternative.”
Jaedon LeDee scored 15 of his 18 points in the first half for fifth-seeded San Diego State, which followed up the only Final Four appearance in school history with another Sweet 16 run. UConn took its first 10-point lead before the midpoint of a first half in which both teams went cold about 10 minutes in. After opening a 27-16 lead with 11 minutes left, UConn shot 6 for 28 to finish the half - and still took a nine-point lead into the break.
